Property Tax Reduction (Circuit Breaker)
If you are a qualified Idaho homeowner, you may be eligible for the 2005 Property Tax Reduction program. This program may reduce property taxes on your home and up to one acre of land by as much as $1,200. The Idaho State Tax Commission administers the Property Tax Reduction program but application is made through the county assessors office (Chapter 7 of Idaho Code). Guidelines and filing procedures are outlined in the 2005 Idaho Property Tax Reduction Program brochure.
Property taxes apply to homes (including manufactured housing), farms, businesses, industry, warehouses, offices, and most privately owned real estate, as well as personal property such as machinery and equipment, and office furniture and equipment. Taxpayers must pay at least half of their property taxes by Dec. 20 and the other half by June 20. However, partial payments in increments of no less than $25.00 may be arranged with the County Treasurer.
